1) People with ...May I presume to add two caveats?<br /><br />1) People with a dementia are VERY GOOD at masking their symptoms. You have to know precisely what to look for or you'll miss it.<br /><br />2) Spouses are almost always in denial; adult children are reluctant to step in and remove a parent's autonomy--especially if the parent is at a contrary and obstreperous point in the disease.<br /><br />Result of the above: afflicted people are almost always well into the middle stages of the disease and have done something dangerous or outrageous before anyone steps in, thus negating the value of early detection. Medical personnel know next to nothing about dementia and are often complicitous in ignoring the warning signs. (The MME is a joke and, in any case, isn't meaningful in the early stages.)<br />Hildynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684250999334358862.post-5348478866902217662013-07-26T07:29:04.187-07:002013-07-26T07:29:04.187-07:00Sounds like a typical nursing student to me....Sounds like a typical nursing student to me....CrownedwithVictoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15139186237180334168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3684250999334358862.post-24293211807939560152013-07-26T05:36:20.787-07:002013-07-26T05:36:20.787-07:00I started having #8, 9, and 10 when I took this jo...I started having #8, 9, and 10 when I took this job.Officer Cynicalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04193271958353271282noreply@blogger.com
